Splunk Search

What is Splunk search runtime?

OK I think I know what it is Splunk Search Runtime, but I have not ever thought what values or insights can this feature give. Today I decided to check my Splunk Cloud health and search usage statistics (just for curious) and noticed that of some searches "search runtime" is kinda very long like for 15 minutes and more, but if I run those searches it usually takes me several seconds. So why it is showing in statistics that it was running for 15 min and more?
Can someone explain? Thanks.
